Carrying Harvest Funds
IN A CHECKING ACCOUNT
Farmers find a checking account
convenient  for  three  reasons:
1. Harvest funds are safe and quickly available for use;
2. The check stubs and monthly
statement   provide   a   simple   farm.
•  bookkeeping system.   Eecords for income tax purposes are easily kept;
3. The unused balance on deposit
will take care of winter expenses and
speed up spring operations.
You can handle the money side of
farming in a safe, satisfactory way
with the aid of a checking account.
